Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a home's water supply. While most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can come from private wells or other water sources and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. Skipper homeowners who are worried about radon often consider testing both their air and water so they understand all the ways their family might be exposed.
Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or visible sign, you can’t tell it’s there by looking at your tap. The only reliable way to know is to test, since levels can vary even between neighboring properties in places like Skipper. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, taking action that suits your home's plumbing and daily water use — preferably at the point where water enters the house — is the best way to lower household exposure.
The most effective single treatment for reducing radon in household water is a whole-house aeration system installed on the main water line entering the home. Aeration strips radon out of the water by transferring the gas into a controlled air stream before water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Since radon is a gas, aeration-based technologies are generally more direct and effective than standard sediment or carbon filters, delivering reduced radon throughout a Skipper home rather than at just one tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained treatment unit that mixes air with incoming water and then vents the radon-rich air safely outside the home. Installed ahead of the water heater and main plumbing, it treats all the water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning in your Skipper residence. When needed, it can be paired with prefiltration to protect the aeration system and downstream plumbing. Mr. Pure Water can assess your property and recommend the right aeration setup and placement for reliable whole-home radon reduction.
